Home Share is used for sharing files with multiple people on the same network.
Please see the following steps to set it up on your computer.
-
Locate the folder you want to share and right-click on it.
-
Choose "Share with..." and then select "Specific People".
-
A sharing panel will appear with the option to share with any users on the computer or your homegroup.
-
You can also choose to share with "Everyone", which means the files will be accessible on your local network to anyone even if they don't have a password. After making your selection, click "Share". Windows will take a moment to set up your new shared folder and it'll be accessible from other computers on your local network.
Once files have been shared on your computer, you will also be able to connect through your Kogan Agora Smart TV via the following steps:
-
Select 'Home' on your remote to go to your home page.
-
Scroll using the directional arrows on your remote and select "Home Share"
-
Select "Search" and your TV will search for locally shared devices. Note: If it can't locate it automatically, use your computer's private IP address. This can be found by pressing the Windows key + R and typing CMD and pressing 'Enter'. Type "ipconfig" in the command field, hit 'Enter', and you will be able to see your private IP address under "IPv4".
-
Select the computer's IP address once it comes up and you will be able to access the shared files.
If the system prompts your for a password you will need to use the following format:
User Name: PC-NAME\USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
